This bootcamp provides a practical, job-focused introduction to artificial intelligence and its role in today’s workplace. You’ll learn what AI is, how it works, and how it is already being used across industries, including key topics like machine learning, language models, and ethical and legal considerations. The bootcamp also strengthens data literacy through hands-on exercises that help you work with data more confidently, and builds prompt engineering skills so you can communicate with AI tools and apply them to real professional tasks.
As part of the program, you can also choose an additional course at no cost to expand your learning. AI Ethics covers responsible AI use, including ethics, risk management, and policy frameworks. AI Agents for Workflows explores no-code AI agents, how they differ from traditional automation, and how to build effective workflows with human oversight.
